What's wrong with this picture?

James Verone, an unemployed 59-year-old with a bad back, a sore foot and an undiagnosed growth on his chest, limped into a bank in Gastonia, N.C., this month and handed the teller a note, explaining that this was an unarmed robbery, but she’d better turn over $1 and call the cops. That, he figured, would be enough to get himself arrested and sent to prison for a few years, where he could take advantage of the free medical care.

Live here in Australia, we've got medicare, it's all paid for. Then once your cured you can go on disability and collect up to $410 a week for the rest of your life. no need to go to prison.

Funny that you put this up quicksilver. because this is something i have discussed with plenty of people before. There are so many people that WANT to go to jail for various reasons... They get 3 meals a day, healthcare, some form of entertainment (gym, basketball, etc), friends, etc. Being homeless, or having financial issues, there are people who want to get put behind bars...

there is a lot wrong with this picture, but to be honest, i'm glad this guy did this, because this is something that people never actually publicized, and now its getting some attention...

Currency devaluation destroys purchasing power through inflation.
This reduction in purchasing power, also known as standard of
livings, is particularly acute during periods of weak or stagnant
economic growth. Rising costs, anemic job growth, and falling real
wages has been fueling the increasing social discontent across
the globe.

Getting 3 meals a day, healthcare, some form of entertainment (gym, basketball, etc), in his case he feels is a bargain. And if i'm correct he will pay no income taxes. Guess what? We the public will pay for his vacation.
